Aging gracefully doesn’t have to mean balding gracefully.

Aging gracefully doesn’t have to mean balding gracefully.

The thing about aging is that we still have the same personality inside our changing bodies and sometimes we don’t feel the two don’t fit together any longer. Aging gracefully is fine but looking in the mirror and seeing that our visible appearance is different to how we feel can be disturbing and frustrating.

Hair loss is a major factor on how we view ourselves and how others see us. As we age, our hair naturally starts to thin out whether we like it or not and genetics also play a role as to how much and where it is lost. With the latest developments from SmartGraft technologies the effects of hair loss can be relatively simply treated and easily reversed.

SmartGraft is the smarter way for both men and women to fight hair loss, permanently. Developed by physicians, medical scientists and engineers, SmartGraft allows physicians to perform hair restoration procedures more efficiently, safely, and in less time, while delivering natural results. New hair grafts will grow in the areas that are bald or thinning to create a natural looking head of hair. Gone are hair restoration procedures that require major surgery resulting in visible scars on patients’ heads and slow, painful recovery times.

To start the process book a free initial consultation with our trained SmartGraft hair restoration physician who will check your medical history and perform a scalp evaluation before outlining a recommended strategic plan. He will explain the procedure in detail and determine the number of grafts needed for an effective and natural-looking result specific to your goals.

On the day of the procedure the area where the hair is to be implanted will be prepped and local anaesthetic will be applied. The physician will use the SmartGraft device to gently remove the grafts from the donor area. After all grafts have been collected, the implantation site is prepped and the physician will carefully and strategically create tiny openings no larger than a pinprick for the grafts to be implanted. This part of the procedure is very important as the angle, density and placement of each graft will determine how natural-looking the results will be.

The average SmartGraft hair transplant procedure takes five to six hours from start to finish, depending on the number of grafts required to achieve desired results. After the procedure and a brief rest period, the patient is able to return home and return quickly to normal life.

Newly transplanted hair grows naturally in several phases. During the first several weeks hair will take root and then begin to shed as per normal. New hair will be visible in about three months, followed by a noticeable improvement in six months and full growth at 12 to 14 months. Once the newly grafted hair has grown in, it requires normal hair care.

In most cases, evidence of the transplant goes undetected by others until months later when they may notice a fuller, natural looking head of hair. However since it is the client’s real hair it is easily accepted as natural, restoring a more youthful appearance and confidence levels. .
